              Either that or they're doing the same amount of research they normally do. It's hard to tell.

              But then why use

              Term: explanation

              and directly below that

              "Term"-- explanation

                For the same reason the whole title is in quotes: American literacy is very poor.

                    Oh my gods I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. It's so upsetting.

                      An e-note is a full step above a d-note and a half step below an f-note.

                        At least chat gpt would have spelled it right for fucks sake.

                        Did they let a 6 year old write that up?

                        THEY GET PAID TO DO THIS. SOMEONE GETS PAID TO CHECK IT TOO.

                        Or am I being trolled.

                          Part of me is bothered by those explanations, but if I had to explain GitHub to a tech illiterate grandparent with that much screen space I don't know if I would do much better.

                          Why even bother explaining those terms if you only have that much screen space.

                              A little less formal than an e-mails.

                                I'm almost more irritated by the use of two hyphens instead of a colon after the first definition. They just didn't give a shit really.

                                  I think --explanation is the command line switch to output a brief summary of a git command.

                                        Well, – you see – a colon can never follow quotation marks, in traditional typography: only ever two hyphens~

                                          You'd probably spell words correctly though, right?
